The GSA (General Services Administration) sets per-diem rates for destinations within CONUS (the Continental United States). These per diem rates specify the amount of monetary reimbursement to be provided to government employees (and employees of private organizations which use GSA per diem rates) who are travelling on business to various areas. The CONUS per diem rate covers three allowances: the lodging allowance, the meals allowance and the incidental expense allowance.

CONUS will provide users a downloadable file with Complete Per Diem rate.

For example EMS should be enhanced to:1. A way to upload select CONUS per diem data to EMS - Policy Entry - PolicyDefinition Entry2. A new column in the Policy Entry - Policy Definition Entry to control thequantity field during expense entry.

For example, meals Per Diem rate entered in the Policy Entry - Policy Definition Entry would have a value of '1'. The expense report reporting on meal expense would display in a protected quantity field a value of '1'. There are other (lodging allowance and incidental expense allowance) areas that would need to enhance in order for clients doing business with the government and a need to abide by government reporting requirements.
